She's The One(Ariana/You)

Family Matters

Y/n's POV:

Reaching into my pocket, I pull out my keys, switching my phone to my other shoulder as I unlock the door.

"Nah man it's a lil collab EP. No more than six songs of just me singin wit some of my friends." I tell Anthony as I walk through the house to the kitchen, grocery bags in hand. I quickly switch him to speaker as I unpack the bags.

"Y/n you just got off tour. Literally a week ago. Take a break, relax, Christmas is in two weeks. Get back to me wit that then." He says with a sigh, then his distant voice speaks to someone other than me.

I take his distraction as a moment to pull out the pans I need.

He comes back," my bad. As I was sayin, just chill. There's no rush I keep tellin you. Yo album still poppin anyway."

Shaking my head, I lay strips of bacon on the heated pan," that ain't the point. I been relaxin thank you and this would be fun as fuck. It ain't even bout tryna stay relevant or money or nothin, I just want to make some music wit my friends man."

A loud groan comes from him and I smile, knowing he might be about to change his mind. It's taken a minute too. I called him two days ago with the idea. Basically G, Meg, Cardi, and Bruno came over and Meg and G had lit a blunt. I smoked a little and we all started creating.

That junk was so dope and fun as hell. So I came up with the idea to put those songs on a little EP.  As mentioned though, I just dropped an album and went on tour so I would have to convince my label to release it cause honestly, I could work on it at my studio at home so that's not the problem.

"Y/n, what the-" I hold my finger up to the girl who walks in with a sleepy expression, then look back down to the phone.

"Come on Ant, you know I need your backing before I can even approach the label with this." I try to push just a little more.

The next groan tells me it worked," okay," I cheer," aht aht, shut the hell up. I'm not sayin anything to the label till I hear the complete EP. All, however many songs, need to be finished one hundred percent."

I smile," I got you bro. Done. Thank you, love you boo bear." I make loud smoochy noises in the phone and laugh when he hangs up. After pocketing my phone, I take the bacon off the skillet, lay down some more strips, and turn to the girl.

"What are you doing here?" Samia asks, walking all the way into the kitchen and sitting at the counter.

"One: good morning sis," I round the counter to kiss the top of her head and she pushes me away." Two: I came to see you and Momma, spend the day wit y'all."

Her narrowed eyes follow me as I move back to the stove to continue cooking." Why are you really here? Where's Ari?"

Damn, it's like that." That's cold Sam. Ariana is spending the day with her dad while he's in town and he don't like me so I wasn't goin with her. And even if she wasn't I would've come here cause y'all my family and I wanted to see y'all."

She hums sarcastically. Then jumps up and comes over to me," what we makin?"

For the next half hour we pull together a little breakfast spread: hashbrowns, grits, eggs, bacon, sausage, toast, and plenty of fruit. We set the table, lay the food out, and start a fresh pot of coffee before heading upstairs.

Quietly walking down the hallway, we sneak into my mom's room. With shared amused expressions, we run over and jump on the bed at her sides, yelling good morning. As we dissolve into a fit of laughter, my mom smacking at both of us, I'm reminded of when we used to do it when we were younger.
